  • Current situation
    • Teacher professional standards around technology integration (ex. NETs-T) needed to support the intended learning outcomes (including subject curriculum and chosen tech standards ex. NETs-S) - Some teachers find these daunting, others are at varying levels of proficiency
    • Buy-in about worth of integrating technology at varying levels
    • How to encourage healthy scepticism/criticism to promote improvement IMG_0028.jpg
      rather than putting up road blocks?

  • Propose new way forward
    • Encourage ownership of their own professional learning ... what does it mean to be current in your field? How does this look in the field of technology and your subject area?
    • Understanding and building buy-in for a vision of education (Who helps to create that vision? Need to avoid shared endarkenment.)
    • Clear and common understanding of what it means to be a part of a PLC.

  • Share strategies and resources for this
    • Create a sense of urgency
    • Breaking down the process (?) to make it manageable and non-threatening.
    • Keeping the vision in focus ... not about where we are going, but how and how fast we will go there is a collaborative endeavor/question
    • Scaffold ex. Florida matrix, ISTE Student Profiles
    • Deprivatize practice to create support networks. ex Critical Friend Groups
    • Celebrate success and growth
    • Differentiate support
    • Work to get a critical mass on board and comfortable which will influence others
    • Concrete examples on how to integrate ISTE-S and curricular standards
